Coronary Bypass Surgery

Coronary Bypass Surgery

Around 30% of deaths in India occur due to damage to the coronary arteries. Moreover, almost all the older people in our country suffer from some form of coronary blood flow disorder.“

Coronary circulation is responsible for the movement of blood through the coronary vessels of the heart. This blood circulation ensures the delivery of oxygen and other essential nutrient substances to all heart tissues and drains out the metabolic products from them.

A person suffers from acute coronary syndrome due to the malfunction of the cardiovascular system. In such cases, the heart muscle becomes incapable of receiving enough oxygen due to impaired blood supply. 

Causes of Acute Coronary Syndrome

The primary reason for the manifestation of acute coronary syndrome is the deterioration of the capacity of the coronary vessels. Another reason can be the destruction of atherosclerotic plaque.

Other important factors that can trigger the development of ACS: 

• Physical activity (moderate to intense);
• Intense intellectual load;
• Sleepless nights;
• Emotional stress;
• Stress;

Symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome

Treatment for ACS 

Treatment for acute coronary syndrome can vary depending on symptoms and the degree of arterial disease.

Medications: Doctors can prescribe different medications to relieve chest pain and improve blood flow.

Operations and other procedures: If the medications aren't able to restore blood flow to the heart, doctors may also recommend angioplasty, stenting or coronary artery bypass grafting.
